Get saving your pennies as Modernism looks like anther superb compilation from Kent and Ace Records. What else would you expect of them?

The album is described as ’24 tracks of hip-shaking club soul and vintage R&B’, all of which has been compiled by Ady Croasdell and Dean Rudland, which is another mark of quality as far as I’m concerned.

As for the tracks themselves, they are tracks discovered dugong mod’s various (re)incarnations with records so obscure they have yet to see the light of day.

So the likes of Chuck Jackson’s ‘Beg Me’, Lou Johnson’s ‘Magic Potion’ and Darrow Fletcher’s ‘I’ve Gotta Know Why’ alongside previously unknown gems as Chet Ivey’s ’Soul Is My Game’ (hidden on a b-side), Leroy Harris’ I’m Gonna Get You and The Shirelles’ unreleased at the time ‘Crossroads In Your Heart’.

In addition to that, you get a cover featuring images from Paul Hallam’s Odds and Sods book that covered the 80s mod scene in London plus the usual in-depth sleeve notes you would expect of an Ace release.

The release date is 27th May 2016 and the album is available to pre-order now, priced at £11.72.
